TEARFUL KIPPER

"After he did that I saw him having a good look round the side of my and then started to urinate up my fence.

"I went out and had a word with him and then before I could shut my front door, he put his foot on the step and he was saying he wanted to use my toilet.

"I said - 'you are not coming in' and then he had got his shoulder in the door and was pushing, trying to get in.

"The door was pushing on my leg and it was painful."

Marjorie, who lives on her own, turned her CCTV cameras on when the stranger was seen lurking around outside her house

Ukip has defended their member despite footage of him trying to force his way into the elderly woman's house

The party member, who has not been named, said: "I am truly, truly sorry for the upset I caused this resident. I can only apologise. It's very embarrassing and I can only pass on my deep regret."

Grandmother of 12 Marjorie has said she is now a lot more wary of answering the front door, and added: "It's been almost five years since I lost my husband and I am very dubious about opening the door, that's why I have got these cameras."

Majorie, who has three children, has handed the CCTV footage to police.

The man, who has prostate problems, was apparently trying to get inside the house so he could use the toilet

Her son Steve Pinches, who owns a security company, installed the camera at the house several years ago.

The 41-year-old rushed to his mum's house after the altercation.

He said: "She was really flustered and distressed when I got there.

"I am just disgusted really, it should not happen.

"Even if he was nothing to do with UKIP and just and individual, it still definitely should not have happened."

UKIP chairman Paul Oakden said: "He was embarrassed enough to be caught short, even more so that he was seen.

"We are not going to take punitive action against a 78-year-old member with prostate problems.

"We are of course very sorry that this happened and pass the resident our sincere apologies."

A UKIP spokesman added: "A 78-year-old party member who recently had hospital treatment for prostate problems was caught short while out leafleting. He found what he thought was a quiet alleyway and relieved himself.

"However, a local resident saw him and was understandably annoyed. The member was mortified and tried to apologise."
